Qu Zan saw that Zhulin was somewhat disappointed, but he could not explain in detail.
The Caravan trudged through thick snow that rose above their ankles, inching along the frozen mountain road.
A blizzard had swept through the entire valley yesterday, completely burying the already rugged mountain path.
The three-foot-deep snow was loose and slippery, with layers of solid ice hidden beneath it. One wrong step meant the danger of plunging off a cliff.
Everyone in the Caravan hushed their voices and held their breath, not daring to let their guard slip in the slightest. As a result, the entire procession moved extremely slowly. In half a day, they had covered only a few short li of mountain road.

"The snow is so thick now. If we pitch tents on it, could that cause a collapse?" Qu Zan asked.
Luosang scratched his head. "There really isn't anything we can do. This blizzard was just too heavy."
